Deiner Lopez hit a walk-off, opposite-field single to score Cole Sturgeon from third base and the Portland Sea Dogs defeated the Trenton Thunder, 8-7 in 10 innings on Memorial Day at Hadlock Field.
Sturgeon led off the bottom of the 10th with an infield single off of Colten Brewer. Joseph Monge followed with a single, then both runners advanced a base on a groundout by Jordan Procyshen. Lopez took the first pitch he saw from Brewer and looped it into left field, where Mark Payton just missed making a diving catch.
